IMPROVEMENT. IN CARRIAGE-CURTAIN WINDOWS.

Specification forming part of Letters Patent No. 208,196, dated September 17, 1878; application filed August 24, 187 8.

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, FRED A. NEIDER, of Augusta, in the county of Bracken and State of Kentucky, have invented a new and valuable Improvement in Carriage-Curtain Windows; and I do hereby declare that the following is a full, clear, and exact description of the construction and operation of the same, reference being had to the annexed drawings, making a part of this specification, and to the letters and figures of reference marked thereon.

Figure 1 of the drawings is a representation of a front of my carriage-curtain window.

, Fig. 2 is a back view of the same, and Fig.

3 is a longitudinal sectional view of the frame.

The nature of my invention consists in the construction and arrangement of a frame for holding glass in carriage or other curtains, whereby no openings or cuts are shown where the clips pass through the curtain, as will be hereinafter more fully set forth.

The annexed drawings, to which reference is made, fully illustrate my invention.

A represents the outside frame, which is stamped or struck up with the clips B B out of one piece of sheet metal said clips standing up straight from the inner edge bf the frame, as shown.

0 represents the curtain, and D the inside clinching-frame. This frame D is provided with slots or notches to correspond with the clips B on the outside frame, A. This inside clinching-frame extends beyond the inner edge of the outside frame about one-eighth of an inch, so that when the leather of the curtain is removed from over the glass E the clips will have a hold on the leather, whereas if the frameD were just as wide as the outside frame, A, they would not have a hold on the leather.

Inside of the outside frame is placed an intermediate frame, F, which forms a bearing for the glass. This intermediate frame has notches or slots for the clips, and conceals the cuts in the curtain where the clips B pass through. It extends also beyond the inner edge of the outside frame, to correspond with the inside clinching-frame.

What I claim as new, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is-

The combination, with the curtain and'glass, of the outside frame, A, having the clips B stamped or struck up from the same piece of metal, the inside clinching-frame, D, and the intermediate frame, F, the frames D and F extending beyond the inner edge of the main frame, substantially as and for the purpose herein set forth.

In testimony that I claim the above I have hereunto subscribed my name in the presence of two witnesses.
